WEBVTT 00:09:41.789 --> 00:09:42.390 So what we're gonna do, 00:09:42.429 --> 00:09:44.179 we're gonna find a line 00:09:44.469 --> 00:09:45.289 on the court. 00:09:45.630 --> 00:09:47.840 So we're gonna find that nice wide base, 00:09:48.109 --> 00:09:49.419 like our ready position 00:09:49.590 --> 00:09:50.710 on the balls of our feet, 00:09:50.830 --> 00:09:52.109 and from there we're gonna hop. 00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:53.630 Over 00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:56.710 the line as quickly and as rapidly as we can. 00:10:05.809 --> 00:10:06.210 So guys, 00:10:06.330 --> 00:10:08.840 do about 15 to 20 reps 00:10:09.010 --> 00:10:11.840 of that and then have a 32nd rest 00:10:12.090 --> 00:10:14.369 and do another 3 sets. 00:10:14.530 --> 00:10:15.130 So now guys, 00:10:15.289 --> 00:10:16.729 for the side steps, 00:10:16.809 --> 00:10:19.989 position yourself just a little bit off of the center, 00:10:20.330 --> 00:10:23.359 you're gonna get back into your wide base 00:10:23.809 --> 00:10:25.080 and you're gonna be here 00:10:25.809 --> 00:10:26.500 side step, 00:10:27.210 --> 00:10:27.859 side step, 00:10:28.409 --> 00:10:28.859 side step. 00:10:29.789 --> 00:10:30.500 Side step. 00:10:30.950 --> 00:10:34.280 And I want you to stay nice and low in an athletic height 00:10:34.669 --> 00:10:37.390 and try and really push off with your legs. 00:10:37.659 --> 00:10:40.340 Try and get as far as you can in your side step. 00:10:46.789 --> 00:10:48.200 And then you can add in 00:10:48.510 --> 00:10:49.630 two side steps. 00:11:01.580 --> 00:11:04.489 So it's super important with the sidestep that your feet don't 00:11:04.700 --> 00:11:05.799 touch together. 00:11:06.590 --> 00:11:08.989 Your feet should have a little bit of distance between them. 00:11:09.150 --> 00:11:09.549 OK guys, 00:11:09.630 --> 00:11:13.219 so now we're onto the crossover step and the cross behind step. 00:11:13.630 --> 00:11:18.599 So this drill is called the Andy Murray drill because he was known to do this drill. 00:11:18.710 --> 00:11:19.429 So first of all, 00:11:19.489 --> 00:11:21.820 I'm gonna do the crossover version, 00:11:22.070 --> 00:11:24.780 and then I'm gonna show you the cross behind version of the drill. 00:11:24.989 --> 00:11:25.950 So starting in the center, 00:11:25.989 --> 00:11:27.260 you're just gonna go from 00:11:27.510 --> 00:11:31.630 the tram line to the inside tramline using a big crossover step. 00:11:44.909 --> 00:11:48.580 So the goal with this drill is to try and cover as much ground as you can 00:11:48.909 --> 00:11:50.380 with that crossover step. 00:11:50.549 --> 00:11:54.700 You would have seen there that I had to use a side step as well to, 00:11:54.750 --> 00:11:55.840 in order to cover 00:11:56.270 --> 00:11:57.330 all of that ground. 00:11:57.549 --> 00:11:58.260 But in my head, 00:11:58.270 --> 00:12:01.880 my goal is to try and cover as much ground as I can 00:12:02.109 --> 00:12:04.380 with that big first crossover step. 00:12:04.549 --> 00:12:06.090 And so we're gonna do the same thing now, 00:12:06.150 --> 00:12:08.109 but with the cross behind step. 00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:18.919 As you can see there, 00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:22.320 I was able to cover a lot more ground with my cross over step 00:12:22.640 --> 00:12:24.190 compared to my cross behind step, 00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:24.559 so. 00:12:25.239 --> 00:12:28.669 I'm sure you guys will find that too when you go out there and practice, 00:12:28.710 --> 00:12:32.299 so don't get discouraged if you can't cover as much ground 00:12:32.630 --> 00:12:34.349 with your cross behind step. 00:12:34.710 --> 00:12:35.030 So guys, 00:12:35.150 --> 00:12:35.270 again, 00:12:35.390 --> 00:12:35.679 for the, 00:12:35.710 --> 00:12:38.020 the crossover and the cross behind step drill, 00:12:38.270 --> 00:12:42.710 it's a good idea to time yourself for between 20 to 30 seconds. 00:12:43.335 --> 00:12:45.765 Give yourself a 20 to 32nd rest 00:12:45.974 --> 00:12:49.244 and then repeat for however many cents you would like to do. 00:12:49.655 --> 00:12:54.364 So the last rule that we're gonna go through is to work on your first step. 00:12:54.534 --> 00:12:56.614 So that first explosive step 00:12:56.854 --> 00:12:57.695 in tennis. 00:12:57.815 --> 00:13:00.364 So we're gonna balance on one leg, 00:13:00.815 --> 00:13:01.724 and then from there, 00:13:01.895 --> 00:13:03.075 you're gonna sprint 00:13:03.315 --> 00:13:03.924 forward 00:13:04.335 --> 00:13:04.724 to 00:13:04.934 --> 00:13:06.565 the service line, 00:13:06.684 --> 00:13:07.414 balancing. 00:13:10.210 --> 00:13:11.770 But as my other leg hits the ground, 00:13:11.849 --> 00:13:13.119 I'm really using that 00:13:13.609 --> 00:13:15.799 to propel myself forward 00:13:16.049 --> 00:13:17.400 as quickly as possible. 00:13:20.429 --> 00:13:21.059 So again, 00:13:21.830 --> 00:13:23.140 Make sure you alternate 00:13:23.349 --> 00:13:24.659 the legs that you're using 00:13:24.869 --> 00:13:27.539 to push off and again for that last drill, 00:13:27.929 --> 00:13:28.820 do 4 00:13:29.070 --> 00:13:31.099 to 5 sprints on each leg. 00:13:31.270 --> 00:13:31.590 So guys, 00:13:31.669 --> 00:13:32.809 that's the end of this video. 00:13:32.909 --> 00:13:34.820 I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you 00:13:35.109 --> 00:13:35.619
